Kunza AKA Cunza also known as Likanantaí Lipe Ulipe or Atacameño is an extinct language isolate once spoken in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile and southern Perú (specifically in Peine Socaire (Salar de Atacama) and Caspana) by the Lickan-antay people who have since shifted to Spanish. The last Kunza speaker was found in 1949 although some have been found since according to anthropologists. There are 2000 Atacameños (W. Adelaar).[citation needed] A dictionary was made for Kunza.
